Research Interests
The team investigates the qualitative properties of non-linear partial differential equations as well as their numerical investigation through numerical simulations. In particular, we are interested in
- existence and multiplicity of solutions, especially when the equations possess a variational formulation;
- symmetry and monotonicity of solutions;
- mountain pass and modified mountain pass algorithms;
- computer assisted proofs.
